In a bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, 150g cooked brown lentils, 50g cooked brown rice, 5g chopped dill, 2g paprika, 1g salt, and 1g black pepper. 7. In another bowl, mix 150g crushed tomatoes, 15g tomato paste, 60ml vegetable broth, 5ml lemon juice, 1g salt, and a pinch of black pepper to make the sauce. 8. Place about 1/4 cup of the lentil mixture on each cabbage leaf. Fold in the sides and roll up. 9. Spread 50g of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. 10.
